60's Jackie O Suit

There is something about a suit that I just adore, especially a vintage one (you all know that)! I recently ran across this lovely yellow 60's Jackie O suit, and fell in love with it! It is a 3 piece ensemble with sequins and rhinestones on the vest. It is in superb condition, but there is one thing wrong. Not my size so I can't keep it for myself!!!!!!!!!

Here you have Michelle Obama and Jackie O Holding there babies in a yellow suit. Beautiful!!!

and here is the suit from the House of Le'Moore Collection

My Love for South Carolina

There is something so simple and serene about the south. Every year my family from New Jersey takes a trip to South Carolina, which my mom's and dad's home state to visit the family. We have so much fun, BBQs, shopping, and most of all spending quality time with family that we don't see or a regular basis. This piece is land is part of my grandmother's land behind here house. Some days I would just stand and graze into the sky. It is a place where I can go and read a book or sit and right my thoughts away. I love South Carolina and can't wait to go back soon......

Vintage Hat Love

Have you ever watched old black and white movies and admired the women and their hats? Well I have!!! I love to see a women in a unique hat. It meant power to me. So today I am busy listing some fabulous hats from the 30's to the 60's. Enjoy the sneak peak..........

Walborg Purse! Lovely Find

I love it when I come across an item that has a label attached to it. Researching is part of what I do everyday, and it adds more to my knowledge as a vintage dealer  more and more. So today up for sale in the Etsy boutique is this lovely Tapestry purse by handbag designer Hilde Walborg. She established her business in the 1940's in none other than NYC. There were handbags made in Belgium, France, and in later years Hong Kong.

Clothes shopping, ugh

Written by Fermin Washington




What is it about shopping for clothes that is so hard for me? I don’t know why but I have the hardest time when I go into a giant department store and there are so many options for me to deal with. I really wish I could come up with something that didn’t require hours of time but really, when I found la VIA I knew it was the perfect place for me. It’s actually owned by a girl I went to grade school with and she’s decked the store out really nicely. There’s http://directstartv.com/ satellite going on the big tv, lots of custom made shelves and the best part is, there are personal shoppers working there! It makes it so much easier for me when I can just go in and start trying on clothes that someone else picks out for me. I really wish I had thought of this sooner but I guess it’s like they say, better late than never, right? I will probably shop like this forever!

Decorating Project

So I am still working on a decorating project that I just love. Of course scouting for vintage clothing and accessories for women is my first love, but I also love decorating as well. My client lves red, black, white and of course tiffany blue. She wanted this Miami vibe for the living room, bed room, and the bathroom (which is done) if you remember the post showing the boudior. So for the kitchen, it was painted tiffany blue take a peak at the pics to see the color and the wall of disco for the living. So Fun!

Purses Love

How can you not love vintage? This is what I ask myself when people curl their noses to something that is second hand or what some might say old. I say how can you not love to wear a treasure from years prior. I love the uniqueness of vintage compared to today's fashion. Even though it is vastly copied but one can not take the mystery out of a garment or accessory. Today I added these fabulous purses to the boutique and as I sat down to start working on them, I wondered about the women that wore them.

What Good Is The little Back Dress Without The Little Black Bag!

I know you heard of the saying that every women should have a little black dress, but what about the little black pockekbook to wear with the dress? I have added the cutest purses from the 50's to my shop that are black and perfect for a night out on the town.

Hollywood Glamour in Lingerie

Have you ever wanted to be like the stars in the old Hollywood? Well I have!!!!! In the boutique now is this amazing white vintage 50's lace and chiffon peignoir wedding set by Trillium. It is soooo Hollywood! The robe ties at the neck and is open and the gown wow, has two straps, the back is out and lace around the waist. I love sets like this because they are layered but still sexy. This piece is perfect for the wedding night.

Vintage Inspired Glasses by Warby Parker

 As you all know I love all that is vintage and vintage inspired, so when I stumbled upon this website Warby Parker I was in heaven!. Well not for myself personally, but for my mom. She is in need of glasses and keeps wearing these frumpy old frames. My mom helps me every Friday at my studio with all aspects of the business, but can't see to save her life.

Warby Parker glasses are vintage inspired and are fabulous. I love that they have the option for you to actually try them on at home. They will ship up to five pairs and you can try them for five days. This option is free of charge and risk free! What do you have to loose?

There is something more beautiful about this company besides the glasses, the donations. Warby Parker has a programs where they will donate a pair of glasses to people in countries that do not have access to eye care for every pair that is bought. So far they have donated more that 50,000 pairs

My favorites are the purple and black glaess from the Wiloughby Collection . Fabulous and perfect for my mom!

Cute and Flirty

Well now the weather has changed for the better and we can start wearing our cute and flirty dresses. I am so excited, being that I am a summer baby and all. I love the summer, I know I know not full blown summer yet but it is closely approaching! So in the shop I have added two cute summer flirty dresses so far. One is yellow and cool for the day and the other an estate sale find is great for an evening cocktail party!!!

More Vintage Estate Sale Items Yeah!!!!

I am still sifting through the great finds from the Opera singer Inez Bull. Another find was a fabulouse Gunne Sax edwardian style dress that is cream lace and hunter green velvet. I really love this one! Wow is all I can say about the 20's opera coat from a store that was found in the 1870's named Best & Co. The coat is a gold silk brocade design and is throughout the entire coat. It is still in great condition with a big round collar that can stand up or down.

Dame Inez Bull Estate

I recently went to a great estate sale and found so many lovely pieces that belonged to a great woman by the name of Inez Bull. I was shocked to find out that she was a pianist, writer, and museum owner. She was the ancestor of a great violinist Ole Bull, from which a museum was created in the memory of him. Inez Bull performed in front of many crowds, including royalty, cruise ships, and more. She taught at the Julliard Institute of Musical Arts and sat on many boards such as The Victorian Society.
I am working on the items this week and next week. Here are a couple of pictures so far

Don't Fall In Love With Your Merchandise

Last week I found this lovely mint green Asian style quilted robe by Lord and Taylor from the 60's that I am drooling over. I keep telling myself to just treat yourself and keep it, but on the other hand do I really need another vintage robe NOOOOOOO! So guess what it is up for grabs in the shop Le'Moore Boutique. You will not be upset to take a peak!!!

I need to purchase another rack for storage for my lovely 50's dresses that will be coming to the boutique very soon as well as a wedding collection that I am drooling over!. That time of the year is coming so my mom and I will begin to work on them very soon. Stay tuned. Nothing like vintage wedding dresses.
